:"Much material is available to help people recognize, discover, and define their particular spiritual gifts. Most Christians, however, do not understand the relationships of spiritual gifts?how a spiritual gift relates to their lives, other people's lives, the local church or to the body of Christ as a whole. Therefore, identifying and understanding your God-given spiritual gifts(s), and the gifts of those around you, should be a high priority." ?Dr. Larry Gilbert, Team Ministry: Gifted to Serve, "Eight Reasons Why Every Christian Should Know Their Spiritual Gift," p. 13.
FOREWORD
Spiritual gifts are key ingredients to building an effective, growing church.
The key phrase is ?using people where they are usable.? If all Christians
were involved according to their spiritual gifts, they would be used in ministering
where they are most usable. I find that growing churches cannot be disassociated
from growing Christians. Therefore, when Christians find their gifts,
know the significance of their gifts and properly exercise their gifts, they will
grow. As the people grow (internal growth) then the church will grow (external
growth).
I believe Team Ministry by Larry Gilbert is the best material written on spiritual
gifts. The concepts of Team Ministry help build a strong foundation in a
local church, inspire leadership, motivate laypeople, and turn declining churches
around.
Team Ministry is the result of more than thirty years of study, research and observation
of church ministries by Larry Gilbert. I have worked with him and we
have had long discussions in the area of spiritual gifts. We have worked together
on numerous church growth projects?programs that were never just gimmicks
or campaigns, but were built on church growth principles and the use of spiritual
gifts.
Larry Gilbert understands the foundation of spiritual gifts for church growth,
personal ministry, and daily living. Therefore, this book will make a significant
contribution for pastors, leaders and individuals to help them strengthen their
daily walk and build a church to the glory of God.
